Teen Takes His Last Selfie Ever

[Newell Steamer]

That got me to thinking, if the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun, maybe he was both?

Well, he could have indeed tried to kill himself - but, he stopped that by killing his attacker,.. that'll teach him.

You're right, this shouldn't be hard to understand. Which just makes you look that much more stupid for not understanding it.

The only qualification for a Darwin award is to remove yourself from the gene pool by death or sterilization. The fact that he had kids already is of no bearing, he was capable of reproducing more, now he can't, he's eligible.

The existence of offspring, though potentially deleterious to the gene pool, does not disqualify a nominee. Children inherit only half of each parent's genetic material and thus have their own chance to survive or snuff themselves. If, for instance, the offspring has inherited the "Play With Combustibles" gene, but also has inherited the "Use Caution When..." gene, then she is a potential innovator and asset to the human race. Therefore, each nominee is judged based on whether or not she has removed her own genes, without consideration to the number of offspring or, in the case of an elderly winner, the likelihood of producing more offspring.

Yesssss my 7am barely conscious self was right. Putting it back to how I originally had it

IN YOUR FACEEEEEE ICHINISAN

If only he was armed,..

I wish you would take more selfies.

Did this accident (?) happen because his gun-holding hand reflexively pulled the trigger when he was thinking of operating the camera? Mind thinking one thing, and body does something else.

Looks like this was clearly a case of...
*puts on sunglasses*
One hand not knowing what the other was doing.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

that made my day.

 

[TallBill]

WHAT gun?

If he had a pistol somebody got some splainin to do!

An 18 year old can legally own a handgun.

Holding a loaded gun to his head, I'm not sure his mind was doing much at all...

Probably confused the trigger finger for the camera/cellphone finger. Gun was pointed to his throat. :\

A man posing with a gun and taking selfies was killed when the gun went off and struck him in southwest Houston, police said.
Family members said the victim is 19-year-old Deleon Alonso Smith. Investigators said Smith was taking selfies with a gun at an apartment in the 9800 block
of Forum Park Drive and Bissonnet around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday when the gun accidentally went off, shooting the 19-year-old in the throat and killing him.

Idiots on a quest to show off never cease to amaze me. Sad stuff though, I feel bad for the guy's uncle. Tending to a family member whose brains are all over the place will do quite a number on your emotional health.



Edit: oh, apparently he shot himself in the throat. Mea culpa.

 

[who?]

The CNN.com story yesterday reported that his cousin claimed that they found the gun somewhere.

Lol, just like the illegal alien in Frisco...

Which is actually better. Instead of an instant lights-out the kid probably had enough time to figure out what an idiot he was.

Thank you. The information I have heard is incorrect.

Friday's paper had a story about a 23 year old in Phoenix in critical condition who shot himself in the head trying to show that his gun wouldn't fire when the safety was on.

It's nothing new though.
Humans and other social animals alike do stupid things to impress others. We're just equipped with more powerful tools.



Sucks that his kids won't have him around now though, dumb has he was. :\

 

[ElFenix]

guess he should have used a camera for that selfie

Important safety tip: If you're ever around a person that says "hey, watch this!" while holding a gun, DUCK! You can't count on the idiot letting his head get in the way.

Chlorinating the gene pool and eliminating stupid people ..
